Veterinary Jurisprudence. 
NORFOLK CIRCUIT.— BURY ST. EDMUNDS. 
DEATH OF SHEEP FROM DIPPING. 
SMITH V. BARKER. 
This was an action to recover compensation for damage done to 
a flock of sheep by the use of the defendant’s chemical solution. 
Mr. O’Malley, Q.C., Mr. Mayd, and Mr. Blofield were counsel for 
the plaintiff ; Mr. Bulwer, Q.C., and Mr. Naylor for the defendant. 
The plaintiff’s case was that in the month of April of this year 
he bought some wash for his sheep of the defendant, an agricultural 
chemist living at Sudbury. With the composition a printed bill 
was given explaining its object, which was to destroy ticks, lice, 
&c., in sheep and lambs, and giving directions for its use. A 
caution was given about carefully keeping the head of the animal 
out of the liquor. At the top of this printed bill the following 
notice appeared : — et As this composition is of a poisonous nature, 
J. Barker will not be responsible for any accident that may occur 
from its use.”
